Our first school year has officially started! We currently have 14 students enrolled. Many of the children are new to us, as they did not participate in the camp activities we offered in December.
Work on the uniforms and getting the school registered continues. We will operate informally until we are able to establish a more appropriate learning environment. To do this, we will work with the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Services, and collaborate with the Ministry of Education. Once we have the necessary property, we will be able to work directly with the Ministry of Education.
While it feels wonderful to be back in the U.S., it’s also hard to be away from the school as the new year starts. I am grateful for the team in Kenya who keeps me posted about the happenings, and who continue to work hard to gain local financial support.
Every time I have an opportunity to share how much we accomplished in such a short time period, I am amazed and grateful! Wonderful opportunities are being created for children! Thank you to everyone who continues to provide emotional, financial, and material support for our vision.
